@Silary Cheers mate! Enjoy it!

Thanks a lot for the help and for this mod - you did a great job and it definitely keeps the game alive! Take care

@Silary Yeah that pesky bug is there for ages. I looked into it to the best of my abilities and couldn't pinpoint any potential source. One thing I know is that it's reported for the vanilla game just the same, so it must be some problem in the core.

Thanks for the quick answer and no worries - I'll have to keep track!
One more thing: my character died frozen at 14 degrees celcius haha! Is there something I missed or could it be a potential bug you've got under the radar? I do not remember which scenario that was, but if I come across it I'll let you know.

Hi @Silary - unfortunately there is no way to make an additional banner. I wanted to utilize the vanilla banners, but if I did, you'd lose all your completion even after you uninstall the mod, I thought it'd be too intrusive.

Hey Toomanynights - probably already asked or mentioned somewhere: when (and if) I survive one of your scenarios, will I get a banner saying Survived beside the one I already have from the original content?

@yuki.konda Hi, I'm glad you're enjoying the mod! Unfortunately, apart from what you've listed, Radio shelter also gives some free food, which for this mod is a no go.

@toomanynights First of all, thank you for the mod. I enjoy it immensely. It is possible to get the radio station shelter, if you select No Free Loot in Marko Solo scenario. It has two lockpicks and seven destructible furnitures, which I think does not break the balance.

Me gustaría jugar a este mod en español

@JinandWin Hey, thanks a bunch for your kind words, means a lot to me. And great job on beating all the challenges.

Comfort in the shelter is not only about objects, but their amount as well. Your list lacks the snowman, heaters and toys. But even without Zlata, child (who also boosts comfort), toys and snowman it is possible to reach maximum comfort, if the remaining items are in sufficient quantity.

I have it on my "to-do-someday list" to fix the digging exploit, so enjoy it while it lasts haha.

2/2

I finally beat all of the scenarios and it was a huge struggle. A decent amount was resetting day 1 trying to get the right status conditions on the correct survivors, or resetting due to early hand rubble clears causing injuries. If day 1 was successful, a lot of my runs had to be abandoned due to later errors/understanding what the challenge entails.

I don't think I ever got the "We feel like home here" status in any run other than the one with Zlata. Every successful run I did, I eventually had a fully reinforced shelter, beds, chairs, armchairs, books, a radio, a guitar (if I had a player), satiated addictions, and a happy child (if the run had one). In this mode, is the only way for the shelter to feel at home having Zlata as well? Am I missing something?

Anyways, clearing all the scenarios took a lot of effort out of me. If I ever want to play TWOM again and be challenged again I'll try your two optional modes.

Excellent mod!

1/2

This honestly is the best mod on steam for any game, ever. This War of Mine is by far my favorite indie game and I've spent way too much time on it mastering most if not all strategies and locations.

Before this mod, I tried replaying some of the stories but I would get bored due to the lack of challenge. I don't think I've really enjoyed or been challenged by this game in a long time.

This mod was super challenging, but also fair at the same time for veteran players. I came up with a strategy that I've never thought about or done before: ~95% a pile of rubble. With resources scarce and weapons being rare yet needed in the early game, I would use a shovel to clear ~95% of a rubble before either dropping it in a pile (if out scavenging) or getting another survivor to use the shovel (if at shelter) before using hands to clear out the rest to avoid the shovel's durability going down. Probably against the spirit of the game, but given how hard your mod is I think it's reasonable.

@Pazik The radio shelter is bugged - it always gives you extra loot even if I set 0 loot in distribution system, so yes, I had to remove it.

Is it just me, or does the radio station shelter NEVER spawn with this mod active?

@dskdev Good to know!

okay yeah, restarted the christo scenario and no insta kill abandoned houses

im pretty sure its because i loaded the mod on a save where it wasn't when it started. it was on day 1 though so i dont know. ill still test it out

@dskdev Can you disable other mods, start a new game and see if the problem ever occurs again?

i think so yeah

@dskdev That's a glitch I'm afraid. Most commonly happens when a new game wasn't started after activating the mod or when there's a mod conflict. Can any of that be the case for you?

I sent Christo to an abandoned house that didn't have any text and he instantly died, I'm not sure if this was an event or if it was because he was sick but wow

@bort Hey mate. Glad to know you enjoy the mod.
You're on the right path there with how a regular citizen would avoid fighting in this kind of situation. Speaking of the Supermarket scenario, it's exactly what they call "bringing a knife to a gunfight" - not a good idea in general. So, if you still want combat, I suggest you get creative :) Several things you could do: use a more skilled fighter; stock up on some armor; lure an enemy to you instead of approaching him yourself; use firearms; or run to a better position once you delivered the first blow. You can use one or a few of these at a time.

Hey man, I love your mod. After several tries I have finally beaten Goodbye Franko, and it feels so satisfying achieving a victory that hard. I wonder if you can give me a hint for the combat mechanics, because I like the fact that instakill it´s not a thing anymore but also I find really difficult to kill anyone with the knife. Tried a couple times to kill the soldier at the supermarket but after the sneak attack I couldn´t land 2 more hits on him and got deleted real quick. So I completed the chapter with no blood on my hands, which it was fine because I think in a real war situation I would act the same, trying to avoid any death risks. However, the combat is also exciting and part of the game where sometimes you need to fight to survive and I don´t want to completely skip that aspect on the next challenges.

@flowerbruh I appreciate it. Enjoy the rest of the challenges

tried this mod, and have beaten 3 challenges so far. I really like the new difficulty curve, it's really well thought out

@Chompy4000 I believe you gotta get used to losing runs, that's what this mod is about :)

You miss a substantial part of it by playing custom scenario though. You don't get to experience reworked city maps, decreased starting loot and worsened survivors condition, rebalanced raids and so on.

But most importantly, you miss out on the challenges - a brand new way to experience classic scenarios, each one with their own twist. In one your survivors run slower, in another they will refuse to use weapons, and in another they will be crippled by paranoia, which will severely affect your night planning.

So, I believe there is no harm if you playing custom scenario - but you should be aware that it's not really the level of challenge you should expect from this mod in classic scenarios.

will the game bug out if i'm playing with all custom characters? i love your mod and im already a few days in, so it'd be a shame if i have to restart down the line...

@Chompy4000 This mod isn't quite compatible with custom scenarios/characters, it was made with the classic scenarios in mind mostly. But I think custom characters should receive average picking capabilities (I think I made some sort of fallback for them specifically).

what are the lock picking capabilities of the player-created classes? psychologist, computer specialist, police officer and insurance agent specifically

@hunt.boy945 I just checked. The mod seems to be in working order with the latest update. Maybe try restarting Steam and resubscribing to the mod.

hey why it isn't work again now ? it never appear in my workshop list in-game and when i check in steam it said 0 B in download. plz help

纵使困顿难行(

@T. Owe Lee That's a good story mate. Just as intended, you don't power through the war sitting on cans of food and guns; you just barely survive, if you get lucky.

In this challenge raids are much less powerful than average; plus you may get as many as 3 days in-between raids, if you're lucky (it is RNG related too).

Love the mod!, I just finished eternal winter and oh boy it is brutal.
Every time you think you have the situation under control, Sh*t hits the fan.
While the discription says that because of the winter raiders are less active, I still had almost a raid every day. Which made the wounded depression circle a lot harder.
I ended up with everybody depressed/broken and sick and wounded, praying every day that it would be the last and that the army would come and safe us from this misery.

@Clome You can't do that in any scenario, not just BtB, because crafting a crowbar makes no sense. You can read more on that here:

https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/discussion/2517681641/3757723993437088330/

@toomanynights: the problem was that you need to close and open again the game, astarting a new story is not enough. but thanks. now I don't get why in the "back to the basics" scenario I can't craft the crowbar

@scool I'm afraid there's nothing that I or any modder can do to affect Steasm Deck compatibility.

@Ciome After you subscribe to the mod, you should use in-game mod menu to make sure it's enabled and placed on top of the mod list.

how do you understand if this mod is active and working? I see no mention of any challenge after starting a new scenario in classic mode. the challenge name that I should have on the picture of the scenario doesn't appear

STEAMDECK无法使用，会崩溃，可以优化下STEMDECK使用这个MOD吗？

@Victor66 Unfortunately the modding tools don't provide any ability like that.

Can I just select certain things from this mod to install over the game? I only like a few ideas, like random loot and random locations.

@♛Брейк Фейт♛ Your assumption is correct, this mod requires a new game.

It does not introduce any "surprise insta-deaths", all new mechanics give you a fair warning. Back in the debug stage I had this thing where if you try to attack anyone in "Pacifist" challenge, they'd just kill you on the spot, which was somewhat funny, but I removed it.

Oh, wait a minute, it seems like it's because I didn't restart the game to load the mod.

If I go out in a sad state in winter, will I die instantly?🤔

By the way, I checked "random location"

hello @toomanynights
I have a question. There is an "Abandoned House" in the mod that is different from the original version.
Then I clicked on explore and died directly. (The screen suddenly displayed a 'DEAD' message)
I didn't even enter the game screen. May I ask what happened? I hope to receive an answer. Thank you and have a wonderful day.

@市井小民 Hello,

This is a problem I never heard of. It does not sound like a problem caused by this mod.
Please note, this mod is not compatible with custom scenarios/characters, as long as most other mods. Please try starting a new game with only AAO enabled and let me know if the problem persists.

Hi, I stumbled upon an issue with the workshop station. At first levels one and two were no problems at all but when I had finished upgrading it to level three instead of one station it showed as two stations(one at level two, one at level three)at that spot and both stations were usable but both station icons were stacked together. I had a screenshot of it but I don't know how to post it here to show it to you. I only had four mods subscribed one is yours, and another three are "Increased stack v.2.3" & "OGM Series - Improved Fuel and Temperature" & "OGM Series - Visit Time Arrival, Survivor Cap & More". This particular gameplay was on custom gameplay with custom character and two base game characters.

@luftatmer

Wow, keep up the great work!
